1 Overview Statutory Background Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the Act) 1 established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and authorizes it to supervise certain consumer financial services companies and large depository institutions and their affiliates for consumer protection purposes. 2 The Bureau s purpose is set forth by Section 1021 of the Act: (a) PURPOSE. The Bureau shall seek to implement and, where applicable, enforce Federal consumer financial law consistently for the purpose of ensuring that all consumers have access to markets for consumer financial products and services and that markets for consumer financial products and services are fair, transparent, and competitive. 3 Federal consumer financial law Subject to the provisions of the Act, the CFPB has responsibility to implement, examine for compliance with, and enforce Federal consumer financial law. 4 Those laws include, among other things, Title X itself, which prohibits unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts and practices in connection with consumer financial products and services, 5 and the following enumerated consumer laws 6 and the implementing regulations. 7 Alternative Mortgage Transaction Parity Act of 1982 (12 U.S.C et seq.); Consumer Leasing Act of 1976 (15 U.S.C et seq.); Electronic Fund Transfer Act (15 U.S.C et seq.), except with respect to Section 920 of that Act; Equal Credit Opportunity Act (15 U.S.C. 1691et seq.); Fair Credit Billing Act (15 U.S.C et seq.); 1 The Act can be found here: 2 Sec of the Act authorizes CFPB to supervise certain entities and individuals that engage in offering or providing a consumer financial product or service and their service providers that are not covered by Secs or 1026 of the Act. Specifically, Sec applies to those entities and individuals who offer or provide mortgage-related products or services and payday and private student loans as well as larger participants of other consumer financial service or product markets as defined by a CFPB rule, among others, plus their service providers. Sec authorizes CFPB to supervise those entities that are large insured depository institutions and credit unions with more than $10 billion in total assets and all their affiliates (including subsidiaries), as well as service providers for such entities. Sec provides the prudential regulators with consumer compliance examination authority for smaller depository institutions ($10 billion or less in total assets) not covered by Sec The Bureau may, under Sec. 1026, include its examiners on a sampling basis at examinations of smaller insured depository institutions to assess compliance with the requirements of Federal consumer financial law. Under Sec. 1026, the Bureau has supervisory authority over a service provider to a substantial number of smaller depository institutions. Insured depository institutions include banks and savings associations. Under Sec. 1029, the Bureau may not exercise any authority over certain dealers predominantly engaged in the servicing and sale or leasing of motor vehicles. For ease of reference for purposes of this manual, entities and individuals within the scope of Sec are referred to as non-depository consumer financial service companies, and those within the scope of Sec are referred to as large depository institutions and their affiliates. All entities and individuals covered by both sections are referred to collectively as supervised entities. 3 Emphasis added. See also Sec. 1021(b)(4). 4 See Sec. 1002(14) for the definition of Federal consumer financial law. 5 See Sec. 1036; see also See Sec. 1002(12). Parts of Title XIV of the Act are also designated as enumerated consumer laws. See Sec. 1400(b). 7 See Sec. 1002(12). CFPB Overview 1

CFPB Overview 2

3 Overview Supervision and examination The statutory frameworks for supervision of large depository institutions and their affiliates and for non-depository consumer financial service companies are largely the same, 9 although the supervision authority for each is found in separate sections of the Act. The frameworks include: The purpose of supervision, including examination, to: o assess compliance with Federal consumer financial laws, o obtain information about activities and compliance systems or procedures, and o detect and assess risks to consumers and to markets for consumer financial products and services; The requirement to coordinate with other Federal and state regulators; and The requirement to use where possible publicly available information and existing reports to Federal or state regulators pertaining to supervised entities. Supervision and Examination Principles Three main principles guide the CFPB supervision process. Focus on consumers The CFPB will focus on risks to consumers when it evaluates the policies and practices of a financial institution. We expect that institutions will offer consumer financial products and services in accordance with Federal consumer financial laws and will maintain effective systems and controls to manage their compliance responsibilities. As we conduct our reviews, we will focus on an institution s ability to detect, prevent, and correct practices that present a significant risk of violating the law and causing consumer harm. 10 Data Driven Like all CFPB activities, the supervision function rests firmly on analysis of available data about the activities of entities it supervises, the markets in which they operate, and risks to consumers posed by activities in these markets. Supervision staff (examiners and analysts) will use data from a wide range of sources: data obtained from the entity and through direct observation during monitoring and examination; information provided by the CFPB s Research, Markets and Regulations and Consumer Education and Engagement divisions, the Office of Fair Lending and Equal Opportunity, the Enforcement division, Consumer Response Center, and Offices addressing the special needs of students, Older Americans, Service members, and the underserved; and other state and Federal regulatory agencies. 9 Most of the differences in the grants of supervision and examination authority will not be relevant for examiners in their daily work; supervised entities will be examined consistent with the applicable statutory provision. 10 The discussion of the Risk Assessment under Pre-examination Planning in this Manual describes more fully what the CFPB means by risks or potential risks of consumer harm. CFPB Overview 3

4 Overview Consistency The CFPB will supervise both depository institutions that offer a wide variety of consumer financial products and services and non-depository consumer financial services companies that offer one or more such products. In order to fulfill its statutory mandate to consistently enforce Federal consumer financial law, the CFPB will apply consistent standards in its supervision of both types of entities, to the extent possible. To help accomplish this, the CFPB will use the same procedures to examine all supervised entities that offer the same types of consumer financial products or services, or conduct similar activities. Such consistency, however, does not dictate uniformity in supervisory expectations. While all of the firms under our jurisdiction must follow the law, we understand that the means that they employ to achieve that goal will and likely should differ. We recognize that large, complex entities necessarily have different compliance oversight and management systems than smaller entities or those offering a more limited number of products or services. Examination Scheduling Non-depository consumer financial services companies will be identified for examination on the basis of risks to consumers, including consideration of the company s asset size, volume of consumer financial transactions, extent of state oversight, and other factors determined relevant by CFPB. will be coordinated with State and prudential regulators as applicable. 11 Regular examination schedules for large depository institutions and affiliates will depend on two considerations: (1) an assessment of risks to consumers and (2) ensuring consistency with statutory requirements that CFPB and prudential regulators coordinate the scheduling of examinations of large depository institutions and affiliates and conduct simultaneous examinations of depository institutions, as well as coordinating examinations with State regulators. 12 Supervised entities will generally be notified in advance of an upcoming examination. General Description of Examiners will coordinate throughout the supervision and examination process with Supervision managers, and analysts, experts, and attorneys from Supervision, Research, Markets and Regulations, the Office of General Counsel, and other CFPB divisions at Headquarters. Supervision will work especially closely with the Office of Fair Lending and Equal Opportunity (OFLEO) and the Enforcement division when reviewing fair lending compliance and evaluating other potential violations of Federal consumer financial laws. In this Manual the coordination process will generally be referred to as consulting internally. Alternatively, Headquarters 11 See Sec. 1024(b)(3). 12 See Sec. 1025(e). CFPB Overview 4

5 Overview will be used to signify the involvement of multiple divisions or offices in addition to Supervision. Specific examination procedures will be similar to those of the prudential and, in some instances, State regulators. 13 As appropriate and in accordance with CFPB policy, examiners and Supervision managers will generally do the following in the course of an examination: Collect and review available information (from within the CFPB, from other Federal and state agencies, and from public sources), consistent with statutory requirements; Request and review supplementary documents and information from the entity to be examined; Develop and obtain internal approval for a preliminary risk focus and scope for the onsite portion of the examination; Go onsite to observe, conduct interviews, and review additional documents and information; Consult internally if the examination indicates potential unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices; discrimination; or other violations of law; Draw preliminary conclusions about the regulated entity s compliance management and its statutory and regulatory compliance; Consult internally about follow-up corrective actions that the institution should take, whether through informal agreement or a formal enforcement action, if warranted by findings; Draft the examination report; Obtain appropriate internal review and approval for the examination work and draft examination report; Share the draft report with the prudential regulator and obtain and consider any comments they may offer, consistent with statutory requirements; and After final internal clearance, finalize and transmit the report to the supervised entity. During the examination, the Examiner in Charge will communicate with appropriate supervised entity personnel about preliminary findings and conclusions. CFPB will seek cooperation from the entity to correct any problems identified. The CFPB considers all supervisory information, including examination reports and ratings, highly confidential. Requirements for the handling of supervisory information not only by CFPB employees, but also by supervised institutions are described in its regulation on the Disclosure of Records and Information. 14 Detailed examination procedures are located in Part II of this Manual. 13 Prudential regulators refer to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, National Credit Union Association, and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency FR 45372) (July 28, 2011) CFPB Overview 5

6 Overview Examination Follow-up How the CFPB addresses negative examination findings will depend, among other things, on the individual facts and circumstances at issue. Whether informal supervisory measures or formal enforcement action is necessary will depend on the type of problem(s) found and the severity of harm to consumers. Self-correction will be encouraged, but some circumstances may nevertheless be sufficiently serious to warrant a public enforcement action. With respect to large depository institutions and their affiliates, CFPB will share draft examination reports and consult with prudential regulators regarding supervisory action, consistent with statutory requirements. 15 Target and Horizontal Reviews In addition to regularly scheduled examinations, CFPB expects to conduct Target and Horizontal Reviews. Target Reviews will generally involve a single entity and will focus on a particular situation such as significant volume of particular customer complaints or a specific concern that has come to CFPB s attention. Horizontal Reviews will look across multiple entities to examine issues arising from particular products or practices and determine whether supervisory measures or enforcement actions are needed. Enforcement Authority CFPB is authorized to conduct investigations to determine whether any person is, or has, engaged in conduct that violates Federal consumer financial law. 16 Investigations may be conducted jointly with other regulators, 17 and may include subpoenas or civil investigative demands for testimony, responses to written questions, documents, or other materials. 18 CFPB may bring administrative enforcement proceedings 19 or civil actions in Federal district court. 20 The Bureau can obtain any appropriate legal or equitable relief with respect to a violation of Federal consumer financial law, including, but not limited to: Rescission or reformation of contracts. Refund of money or return of real property. Restitution. Disgorgement or compensation for unjust enrichment. Payment of damages or other monetary relief. Public notification regarding the violation. Limits on the activities or functions of the person against whom the action is brought. Civil monetary penalties (which can go either to victims or to financial education). CFPB has no criminal enforcement authority. 15 See Sec.1025(e). 16 Sec Sec. 1052(a) 18 Sec. 1052(b) and (c) 19 Sec Sec CFPB Overview 6

7 Overview Referral of Matters or Information to Other Agencies Criminal Activity In the course of their work, examiners may obtain evidence that a regulated entity or a customer has engaged in conduct that may constitute a violation of Federal criminal law. The CFPB is required by the Act 21 to refer such findings to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for further review and action. Examiners who, during the course of conducting their examination duties, believe they have found evidence of criminal conduct should consult internally to discuss their findings and the appropriate next steps. Headquarters will handle referral of appropriate matters to DOJ. Some examples of fact scenarios that may necessitate a referral to the DOJ include, but are not limited to, the following: Based on documented information that the examiner has obtained, a regulated entity s financial records are comprised of data that appear to be false. A regulated entity s records or files show that it has direct business relationships with individuals or businesses based in a country that is the target of one or more types of United States government sanctions. (See sanctioned country lists at and A loan file or other type of file or record concerning a customer of a regulated entity contains one or more of the following documents that may indicate that the customer has engaged in potentially criminal conduct: o Bank statements that show that the customer has one or more bank accounts in a country that is a target of United States government sanctions. (See sanctioned country lists at and o Based on documented information in a loan file, (1) a loan application appears to contain false information, (2) an appraisal for real property appears to contain false information, or (3) a document used to verify loan eligibility appears to contain false information. (Documents used to verify loan eligibility include but are not limited to bank statements, Forms 1099, Forms W-2, and/or federal income tax returns.) Tax Law Non-Compliance The CFPB is also required under the Act to refer information identifying possible tax law noncompliance to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). 22 Examiners who, during the course of conducting their examination duties, believe they have found evidence of tax law noncompliance should consult internally about the appropriate next steps. Headquarters will handle referral of matters to the IRS. 21 See Sec See Secs. 1024(b)(6) and 1025(b)(5). CFPB Overview 7

8 Overview Some examples of fact scenarios that may necessitate a referral to the IRS include, but are not limited to, the following: Based on documented information that the examiner has obtained, a regulated entity s tax returns are comprised of data that appear false. A loan file or other type of file or record concerning a customer of a regulated entity contains one or more of the following documents that may indicate that the customer has failed to comply with the tax laws: o Documents used to verify loan eligibility that clearly document that the customer has substantially greater income than the income that the customer reported on Federal income tax returns. Documents used to verify loan eligibility include statements showing a customer s investment portfolio, bank statements, and/or Forms ECOA/pattern or practice The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) requires the CFPB to refer matters to DOJ whenever the CFPB has reason to believe that one or more creditors has engaged in a pattern or practice of discouraging or denying applications for credit in violation of Section 1691(a) of ECOA, which states ECOA s basic prohibitions against discrimination. 23 In matters that do not involve a pattern or practice of discouragement or denial, the CFPB may refer the matter to the DOJ whenever the agency has reason to believe that one or more creditors has violated Section 1691(a). 24 Headquarters will handle referral of appropriate matters to DOJ. Matters not within the CFPB s authority When examiners find information that may indicate violations of law that are not within the CFPB s authority, the information will be passed on to the appropriate prudential, other Federal, or state regulator. These situations will generally be handled by the Examiner in Charge, after consulting internally U.S.C. 1691e(g). 24 Id. CFPB Overview 8

9 Overview The Supervision and Examination Cycle Pre-Examination / Scoping Review and analyze available information to identify risks, areas of inquiry, and focus Request and review documents and information needed to begin examination (e.g., internal policies, audit reports, training materials, recent data) Make initial plan for on-site testing and review Examination (offsite and onsite) Interview senior managers, loan officers, compliance officers, and account personnel as appropriate Observe operations (e.g., call center, branches) Compare policies and procedures to actual practices by reviewing a sample of transactions Compare conduct to legal requirements and policy guidance Monitoring Nonbank Product / Market analysis Bank Periodic checks on institution activities; calls and meetings Both Risk Assessment Review reports and information Review status of corrective actions Scoping for the next exam Communicate conclusions and required corrective action Communicate findings and expected corrective actions to management and Board of Directors Pursue appropriate supervisory agreement or formal enforcement action as needed As shown in the graphic and described in more detail below, CFPB supervision will operate as a continuous cycle. Although specific examination procedures are consistent, there are some differences in the Bureau s approach to supervising depository institutions, and non-depository consumer financial services companies, as outlined below. CFPB Overview 9

10 Overview Non-depository consumer financial services companies The Nonbank Supervision Risk Analytics and Monitoring team (RAM) in Headquarters will provide risk-based analysis of consumer financial markets and participants in the financial marketplace to support the examination program. This team will acquire and analyze qualitative and quantitative information and data pertaining to consumer financial product and service markets to determine what industries and institutions pose the greatest risk to consumers. The data will include external data, including, but not limited to, Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and Home Affordable Modification Program data, institution and industry reports, state and Federal reports of examination, and legal documents. It will also include CFPB-generated data, such as complaints, reports of examination, and market and other reports. Using consumer risk indicators for particular markets, RAM will provide a risk ranking of entities to program teams for use in scheduling examinations. Once a particular examination is scheduled, the examination team will follow the same general examination process used for all supervised entities, including preparation of a Risk Assessment and an Examination Scope Summary. The Supervision Plan template will generally not be used for non-depository consumer financial services companies. These documents are described below and in Part II of this Manual. Depository Institutions Each large depository institution will be assigned a Lead Examiner who will, either individually or with a team, monitor information about the entity and its affiliates. That information will be collected in an Institution Profile and used as the basis for a Risk Assessment and a Supervision Plan. The Lead Examiner may or may not be the Examiner in Charge of a particular examination of the entity. The Institution Profile, Risk Assessment, and Supervision Plan will be updated as appropriate with information gathered through regular monitoring as well as examinations. Monitoring: The purpose of depository institution monitoring is to maintain reasonably current information about the institution s activities in order to determine whether changes in risks to consumers or markets warrant a change in the CFPB Supervision Plan. Affiliated entities are considered together. The frequency and depth of monitoring will vary depending on the organization s risk profile, but should be undertaken at least quarterly. As an initial matter, Lead Examiners and their supervisors will agree on a monitoring schedule. CFPB Overview 10

11 Overview Basic monitoring activities include: Reviewing supervisory and public information about the entity, such as: o Prudential and state regulator examination reports o Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) performance evaluations o Current enforcement actions o Call report data o Complaint data o Home Mortgage Disclosure Act o Home Affordable Modification Program Data o SEC filings o Licensing or registration information o Reports from the entity to prudential or state regulators, if any o CFPB research analyst reports o Institution website Contacting the appropriate officer of the institution to discuss new products or services, events that may impact compliance management, and any questions raised by information reviewed by the Lead Examiner. Contacting the prudential regulator to discuss any recent events and any questions raised by supervisory or public information about the institution. Consulting internally. After reviewing periodic monitoring information, the Lead Examiner should update the Institution Profile, Risk Assessment, and Supervision Plan as appropriate. Institution Profile: The Institution Profile contains summary information about a depository institution and its affiliates and provides a quick reference guide. An Institution Profile template is provided in Part III. Risk Assessment: The Lead Examiner completes and periodically updates a Risk Assessment for a large depository institution and its affiliates. The Risk Assessment may be the product of multiple individual Risk Assessments of specific lines of business or companies. It provides the basis for the Supervision Plan, which is the CFPB plan for supervising a depository institution and its affiliates and for allocating supervision resources to the organization. The same risk assessment process is also used to scope examinations, as discussed in Part II, where the process is discussed in more detail. A Risk Assessment template is provided in Part III. CFPB Overview 11

12 Overview Supervision Plan: The Supervision Plan, which is based on the Institution Profile and Risk Assessment, summarizes the plan for monitoring and examining the institution and its affiliates. It describes the priorities for CFPB supervision activities to assist in allocating and scheduling examiner resources. It describes the plan and timeline for monitoring the institution, including any follow-up required for Matters Requiring Attention identified during examinations, other supervisory measures, or enforcement actions. The minimum monitoring schedule is quarterly. The Supervision Plan describes the proposed focus and scope of examination activities during the year (either a full examination or a series of limited examinations); information about scheduling coordination with the prudential and/or state regulators; and the proposed number of examiners, deployment schedule, and any special skills or knowledge needed. The Plan should be updated at least annually and may be updated at any time as a result of changes in the Risk Assessment. A Supervision Plan template is provided in Part III. CFPB Overview 12

13 Pre-Examination Planning The goal of a risk-focused examination is to direct resources toward areas with higher degrees of risk. CFPB examinations focus on risks of harm to consumers, including the risk a supervised entity will not comply with Federal consumer financial law. The overall objective of preexamination planning is to collect information necessary to determine the examination s scope, resource needs, and work plan. This information allows the Examiner in Charge (EIC) or designee and the examination team to plan and conduct its work both offsite and onsite during the examination. The information available, timing, and order in which steps are performed may vary by the type of examination or supervised entity. Pre-examination planning consists of gathering available information and documents and preparation of an examination Information Request. The examination Information Request is a tailored list of information and documents that the supervised entity is asked to forward to CFPB for offsite review or make available when the examiners arrive onsite. It may include a request for an electronic data download. The pre-examination planning process will vary depending on the size, complexity, business strategy, products, systems, and risk profile of a particular supervised entity. This section provides a general overview of the process. Gather Available Information The EIC and examination team members collect information about a supervised entity from both internal and external sources to aid in constructing the risk focus and scope of an examination. Examiners should gather as much information as possible from within the CFPB, other regulatory agencies, and third-party public sources, because the Bureau is required by statute to use, to the fullest extent possible, information available from other agencies or reported publicly. 1 The following key documents and information are relevant to understanding a supervised entity and its ability to manage its compliance responsibilities and risks to consumers. Not all documents will necessarily be available for a particular entity. From CFPB Internal Sources and Other Regulatory Agencies Monitoring information Most recent Risk Assessment Prior Scope Summary, Supervision Plan, or similar document produced by state or prudential regulator Prior Examination Reports and supporting workpapers (internal and from Federal prudential regulator, state regulator(s), or other agency) Information about prior corrective actions (such as restitution) and responses to Examination Reports Information on enforcement or other public actions (if applicable) Correspondence from prudential or state regulator(s) and CFPB correspondence files State licensing information for the entity 1 See Secs. 1024(b)(4) and 1025(a)(3). CFPB 1

14 Complaint information (internal, state, CFPB, other sources) FTC Consumer Sentinel database Uniform Bank Performance Report (UBPR) and Call Reports Previous years FFIEC Home Mortgage Disclosure Act Loan Application Registers (HMDA LARs) Home Affordable Modification Program data Fair lending analysis Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) Federal Housing Home Loan Data System (FHHLDS) report Mortgage Call Report (MCR) from the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS) Registration or licensing information for mortgage originators (Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act (SAFE Act) From Public Information or Third Parties Institution securities filings, its offered securitizations, and similar public records Industry publications showing credit ratings, product performance, and areas of profitability Newspaper articles, web postings, or blogs that raise examination related issues Neighborhood Watch: Vendor programs Content of the supervised entity s website. Before contacting the supervised entity to gather additional information, the EIC (or designee(s)) reviews the material gathered from these sources to help avoid duplicative requests. Of course, it may still be necessary to verify or update the information or documents with the supervised entity, but the burden of production will be reduced. Update or Prepare the Risk Assessment CFPB s Risk Assessment is designed to evaluate on a consistent basis the extent of risk to consumers arising from the activities of a supervised entity or particular lines of business within it and to identify the sources of that risk. Risk to consumers for the purpose of the CFPB Risk Assessment is the potential for consumers to suffer economic loss or other legally-cognizable injury (e.g., invasion of privacy) from a violation of Federal consumer financial law. The risk assessment includes factors related particularly to the potential for unfair, deceptive or abusive practices, or discrimination. Two sets of factors interact to result in a finding that the overall risk in a business or entity is low, moderate, or high. The first set of factors relate to the inherent risk in the particular line of business or the entity overall. The second set of factors is the quality of controls that manage and mitigate that risk. The Risk Assessment also includes a judgment, based on current or recent information, about the expected change in the overall risk: decreasing, increasing, or unchanged. The CFPB uses the Risk Assessment described below, and presented as a template in Part III, to develop its plan for supervising and examining large depository institutions and their affiliates CFPB 2

15 (the Supervision Plan), and to determine the focus of particular examinations. Risk Assessments will be used to set priorities and focus examination and supervision activities. Risk assessments are not used to reach conclusions about whether an entity has violated a particular law or regulation. The Lead Examiner completes or updates a Risk Assessment at least annually for a large depository institution and its depository and non-depository affiliates. When evaluating the group of entities as a whole, considerations include the extent to which these affiliates share or allocate risk (such as when one entity purchases or services loans originated by another) and the ways in which they manage risk under a corporate compliance program (quality of risk management). CFPB s Nonbank Supervision Risk Analytics and Monitoring unit and other Headquarters units, including the Office of Fair Lending and Equal Opportunity, will collect data about and from supervised non-depository consumer financial services companies in order to help define and assess risk for purposes of examination prioritization. The examination team will perform a more specific Risk Assessment as part of the pre-examination process. In undertaking a Risk Assessment, examiners should consider both the volume and the nature of consumer complaints received by the entity or by regulatory bodies including the CFPB. In addition to shedding important light on the extent and types of concerns of consumers utilizing the entity s consumer financial products or services, complaints may provide indications of potential regulatory violations, including unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices (UDAAPs). How the entity handles complaints is also a key element in evaluating its compliance management system. Regulatory violations or matters requiring attention identified in prior examinations by the CFPB or by other regulatory agencies, including the prudential regulators, should also be considered when assessing risk and planning an examination. Inherent Risk For markets which involve the sale of financial services products or services to consumers, the key factors that are relevant in assessing risk are (i) the nature and structure of the products offered, (ii) the consumer segments to which such products are offered, (iii) the methods of selling the products, and (iv) the methods of managing the delivery of the products or services and the ongoing relationship with the consumer. 2 2 Some markets for consumer financial products or services operate on a business to business basis; this is true, for example, of the credit reporting market and the collections market. The factors that are indicative of inherent risk in these markets will be different from those in the business to consumer markets. Risk assessments for such businesses will be developed separately. CFPB 3

16 Quality of Controls and Mitigation of Inherent Risk The second part of the Risk Assessment entails an evaluation of the extent to which the institution has established controls to monitor and mitigate inherent risks to consumers. Some of these controls will necessarily be established and assessed across the lines of business at the institution or enterprise level, while others will operate at the line of business level to mitigate identified risks. After risks are identified, the focus and priorities for examination or review activities will take into account the number of consumers potentially harmed and the severity of that potential harm. Expected Change/Direction of Risk Finally, the Risk Assessment calls for a determination of the direction of risk at the entity: increasing, decreasing, or stable. The direction determination should be based on the findings of very recent reviews or the most recent examination, recent changes in entity structure, new business strategy, monitoring information, or other information about prospective risk and risk management. The date of the most recent change in the direction of risk should also be noted. An institution that has been stable for a long time that suddenly changes will likely require a different supervisory response than one that has been on the same trajectory for some time, although both may be of serious concern. A Risk Assessment template is provided in Part III. Develop a Scope Summary The Scope Summary is based in large part on the conclusions of the Risk Assessment. The table of risk conclusions from the Risk Assessment should be included in the Scope Summary. The Examiner in Charge prepares the Scope Summary, which provides all members of the examination team with a central point of reference throughout the examination. The initial Scope Summary is based on internal consultation and a review of available information and documents gathered prior to sending the Information Request to the supervised entity, and is developed after preparing the Risk Assessment. CFPB 4

17 The initial Scope Summary addresses the following: The basis for the Risk Assessment and Examination activities to be undertaken to review: o the compliance management system; o o o o potential legal violations involving unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices; fair lending compliance; issues arising from complaints; and specific regulatory compliance issues. At the conclusion of the examination, the EIC updates the initial Scope Summary with the following: Description of changes to the examination scope during the course of the examination, and reasons for such changes; Recommendations for the scope of the following examination. The initial Scope Summary, as well as any material changes to the scope of the examination during the examination, should be approved in accordance with current CFPB requirements. The Scope Summary is maintained with the examination records in the Supervision and Examination System. A Scope Summary template is found in Part III and may be tailored to individual circumstances as appropriate. Contact the Entity to be Examined For most full-scope examinations, the EIC, or designee, contacts the supervised entity s management approximately 60 days prior to the scheduled onsite date for the examination to arrange either a telephone or in-person discussion of the examination Information Request. The principal purpose of the discussion is to gather current information to ensure that the request is tailored to what is necessary to properly conduct the examination of that particular institution. The EIC or designee should also use the discussion to help determine whether certain information needed for the examination should be sent to the examination team for review offsite or held for onsite review. The discussion should include the timing of production and the subsequent onsite examination. The EIC should use the discussions to apprise management about who should be available to be interviewed during the onsite portion of the examination. If not already known, the EIC should obtain information about the organization of the entity and where it maintains certain operations for the purpose of deciding which operation centers and/or branches the team will review. For depository institutions under a continuous examination schedule, periodic requests will be necessary and the lead time may vary depending on the product, service, or regulation being reviewed. CFPB 5

18 Early contact and review provides the EIC the opportunity to determine if specialized examiner or other CFPB resources are needed for particular examination activities and then to obtain them. A customizable Interview template is available in the Supervision and Examination System. It may be used as a tool to help guide the discussion with the supervised entity and the subsequent tailoring of the Information Request. Prepare and Send the Information Request After conducting the review and discussion outlined above, the EIC or designee will use the monitoring information and any other relevant information to customize an Information Request that includes only items that are pertinent to the examination of a particular entity. Not all items will be relevant to every examination. In addition, the Information Request must specify the review period when it requests information or documentation such as periodic reports, ledgers, policies and procedures, and administrative changes, to avoid receiving data not relevant to the examination. The EIC or designee may provide the examination Information Request to entity management in either hard copy or electronic format, although electronic is preferred, indicating where the materials should be delivered and in what format. If at all possible, the requested materials should be delivered to the CFPB electronically. Examiners should consult with their field managers about what system should be used for secure requests and transmission of electronic examination files. The timing of the request and the response date must ensure that entity staff has sufficient time to assemble the requested information and the examination team has sufficient time to adequately review the materials. Contacting the supervised entity at least 60 days prior to the onsite date, whenever feasible, and sending the examination information request as soon as possible thereafter will generally ensure that staff of the supervised entity have sufficient time to properly gather and submit the response, and that the examination team has time to conduct its offsite review. To the extent possible and consistent with statutory requirements, coordinate the examination information request with the prudential and state regulator(s) and keep them abreast of monitoring efforts, correspondence with the supervised entity, and schedule planning. The customizable Information Request template is available in the Supervision and Examination System. Conduct the Examination After receiving and reviewing the information and documents requested from the entity, the EIC will determine the specific examination procedures to use during the onsite review and how to deploy the examination team to conduct interviews, observations, transaction testing, and other processes. Guided by the Risk Assessment, every examination must include a review of compliance management, any potential unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices, and regulatory compliance matters presenting risks to consumers. Every examination of lending must also include a review for discrimination. CFPB 6

19 Available examination procedures are part of this Supervision / Examination Manual. Templates should be downloaded from the Supervision and Examination System and used to create workpapers. Upon determining the onsite start date, the EIC should arrange an entrance meeting with the appropriate member(s) of the supervised entity s management. At the meeting, the EIC can introduce the examination team, discuss generally the expected activities, clarify any questions about arrangements for being onsite at the entity (such as building security, work space, etc.), and set the tone for the examination. Thereafter, the EIC should meet regularly with the entity point of contact to discuss interim findings and examination progress. The EIC should also communicate regularly with his or her point of contact at the entity s prudential or state regulator(s). Throughout the examination, the EIC should coordinate with his or her Field Manager regarding internal consultation and review requirements and should provide progress reports as required. Close the Examination Closing Meeting When the EIC determines that all onsite activities and internal CFPB consultations are complete, he or she should meet with the supervised entity s management to discuss the preliminary examination findings, expected corrective actions, recommended rating, and next steps, if any. Management should be reminded that supervisory information, including ratings, is confidential and should not be shared except as allowed by CFPB regulation. Depending on the severity of the findings, other CFPB representatives may attend this meeting as well. Management should be alerted if a meeting with the board of directors or principals of the supervised entity will be required. Entity management must be informed that examination findings, including compliance ratings, are not final until internal CFPB reviews are conducted and, in the case of an insured depository institution or affiliate, the prudential regulator has had the opportunity to review and comment on the draft report. Determine the Compliance Rating The CFPB has adopted the FFIEC Uniform Consumer Compliance Rating System. 3 Under this system, after an examination a supervised entity is assigned a confidential consumer compliance rating based upon an evaluation of its present compliance with Federal consumer financial law and the adequacy of its systems designed to ensure compliance on a continuing basis. The rating system is based upon a scale of 1 through 5 in increasing order of supervisory concern. Thus, "1" represents the highest rating and consequently the lowest level of supervisory concern, while "5" represents the lowest, most critically deficient level of performance and therefore the highest degree of supervisory concern. Each of the five ratings is described in greater detail below. In assigning a consumer compliance rating, all relevant factors must be evaluated and weighed. In general, these factors include the nature and extent of present compliance with Federal 3 This description of the rating system is adapted for CFPB purposes from the 1980 FFIEC resolution adopting the rating system. CFPB 7

20 consumer financial law, the commitment of management to compliance and its ability and willingness to take the necessary steps to assure compliance, and the adequacy of systems, including internal procedures, controls, and audit activities designed to ensure compliance on a routine and consistent basis. The assignment of a compliance rating may incorporate other factors that impact significantly the overall effectiveness of an institution's compliance efforts. While each type of entity supervised by the CFPB has differences in its general business powers, all generally are subject to the same Federal consumer financial laws covered by the rating system. Thus, there is no need to evaluate different types of entities on specific criteria relating to their particular industry. As a result, the assignment of a consumer compliance rating based on a set of uniform criteria will help direct supervisory attention in an efficient and consistent manner that does not depend solely upon the nature of the institution s business. The primary purpose of the uniform rating system is to help identify those institutions whose compliance with Federal consumer financial law displays weaknesses requiring special supervisory attention and which are cause for more than a normal degree of supervisory concern. To accomplish this objective, the rating system identifies an initial category of institutions that have compliance deficiencies that warrant more than normal supervisory concern. These institutions are not deemed to present a significant risk of financial or other harm to consumers, but do require a higher than normal level of supervisory attention. Institutions in this category are generally rated "3." The rating system also identifies certain institutions whose weaknesses are so severe that they may represent a substantial or general disregard for the law. These institutions are, depending upon nature and degree of their weaknesses, rated "4" or "5." The uniform identification of institutions causing more than a normal degree of supervisory concern will help ensure: That the degree of supervisory attention and the type of supervisory response are based upon the severity and nature of the institution's deficiencies; That supervisory attention and action are, to the extent possible, administered consistently, regardless of the type of institution or the identity of the supervising agency; and That appropriate supervisory action is taken with respect to those institutions whose compliance problems entail the greatest potential for financial or other harm to consumers. CFPB 8

21 Consumer Compliance Ratings Consumer Compliance Ratings are defined and distinguished as follows: One An [entity] in this category is in a strong compliance position. Management is capable of and staff is sufficient for effectuating compliance. An effective compliance program, including an efficient system of internal procedures and controls, has been established. Changes in consumer statutes and regulations are promptly reflected in the institution's policies, procedures, and compliance training. The institution provides adequate training for its employees. If any violations are noted they relate to relatively minor deficiencies in forms or practices that are easily corrected. There is no evidence of discriminatory acts or practices, reimbursable violations, or practices resulting in repeat violations. Violations and deficiencies are promptly corrected by management. As a result, the institution gives no cause for supervisory concern. Two An [entity] in this category is in a generally strong compliance position. Management is capable of administering an effective compliance program. Although a system of internal operating procedures and controls has been established to ensure compliance, violations have nonetheless occurred. These violations, however, involve technical aspects of the law or result from oversight on the part of operating personnel. Modification in the institution's compliance program and/or the establishment of additional review/audit procedures may eliminate many of the violations. Compliance training is satisfactory. There is no evidence of discriminatory acts or practices, reimbursable violations, or practices resulting in repeat violations. Three Generally, an [entity] in this category is in a less than satisfactory compliance position. It is a cause for supervisory concern and requires more than normal supervision to remedy deficiencies. Violations may be numerous. In addition, previously identified practices resulting in violations may remain uncorrected. Overcharges, if present, involve a few consumers and are minimal in amount. There is no evidence of discriminatory acts or practices. Although management may have the ability to effectuate compliance, increased efforts are necessary. The numerous violations discovered are an indication that management has not devoted sufficient time and attention to consumer compliance. Operating procedures and controls have not proven effective and require strengthening. This may be accomplished by, among other things, designating a compliance officer and developing and implementing a comprehensive and effective compliance program. By identifying an institution with marginal compliance early, additional supervisory measures may be employed to eliminate violations and prevent further deterioration in the institution's less-than-satisfactory compliance position.
